On the flip side, Jimmy Garoppolo’s return is no guarantee, and keeping Mullens around just in case, à la Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles, is a safe option.

That Bears defense has been harassing signal callers all season long and the situation was no different to Mullens, yet he only took one sack and completed 57 percent of his passes. He’s made the mistakes you see young quarterbacks make, but he’s also made it clear that he belongs in the NFL. ![]() Mullens was an undrafted free agent who started on the practice squad and got his starting opportunity almost by accident.
